An Attitude of Gratitude

One day my mom received a painting from her favorite aunt. It was a round canvas, with a diameter of 24 inches. It was a still life of flowers in a nice vase. My Mom wanted it framed professionally. When she brought it home from the framer, she had also bought a sconce to place on each side of the painting when it was hung on the wall.

Our nation has set aside one day each year, the fourth Thursday of November, as a day of Thanksgiving. We have much for which to be thankful as a nation, freedom, security, and plenty. The turkey is the symbol we all relate to Thanksgiving Day.

Christians should not wait until November to be thankful for all their blessings. All good and perfect gifts come from God. That includes not only the temporal blessings, but the spiritual blessings like salvation, the church, the Scriptures, and our hope.

God deserves thanks every day. All we do should be done in an attitude of gratitude, giving the glory to our Father in Heaven.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 "in everything give thanks, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus".
